Merlin,

Thanks for bringing the SQL 92 row constructor into spec for
operations involving > and <.  This is just fantastic. I just
benchmarked ISAM style access to tables on multi-part keys and the
speedup is tremendous vs. the non row-constructor approach to the
problem which is tedius to write and only selective to the first part
of the key.  We are talking speedups proportional to the inselectivity
of the ordering key.  While this feature is relatively esoteric, it is
powerful and belongs in every dba's bag of tricks.

It's esoteric enough that I don't know what you're talking about. Can you give us an example?
